Physics

Scientific paper

A report of the observation system MITSuME for the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and the early universe is presented. MITSuME consists of three robotic telescopes, two optical telescopes and an IR telescope. Each optical telescope has a Tri-color Camera capable of perform g, R, I bands photometry at the same time. The 91 cm IR telescope is now developing, this telescope is designed to have a wide field of view of 56×56 and will perform Y, J, H, K photometry. These three telescopes are able to respond promptly to GRB alerts without human intervention. Using the MITSuME, we have already succeeded in detecting five GRBs and two of them were very distant GRBs.
